Starting point is 00:03:16 terms, and responsible gaming resources. Ravens tight end, Charles Kohler, comment on MVP race. I'm not a math genius, but one guy seems to be leading in all three quarterback except QB Sneaks. Who would you pick MVP race? Lamar has 3,955 yards.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Josh Allen has 3,731. Lamar has 852 rush yards. Josh has 531. Lamar has 43 total touchdowns. Josh has 41. Lamar has four interceptions. Josh has six.
Starting point is 00:04:04 But how many fumbles for each We gonna we gonna we gonna Hey hey Charles We gonna do it right now We gonna Cause turnovers Fumbles or turnovers Let's see
Starting point is 00:04:11 How many Josh I think Josh has a couple I think Lamar has a couple Hey Uncle It's so close though bro It is It is It's so close
Starting point is 00:04:21 It's so close And I think it's gonna come down to this think it's going to come down to this last game. And one of them having to have an extracurricular day. They got to do something special because it's so close, you know, to actually define why they deserve that MVP, you know. They can't fall by the wayside in week 17. They can't. The question is, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:04:50 with the Bills already having a number two seed, are you going to play Lamar? Excuse me, Josh Allen. No, Lamar got to play because Lamar, they can win the division. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Win the division, I get a home game. Mm-hmm. Then, hey, who knows? I'll take my chances. Hell, I might get you home games. You never know. Somebody might get upset, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Right. A 5C might beat somebody. Well, Lamar would be the 4C. Mm-hmm. Three, NFC East AFC West AFC East Lamar would be the 3rd seed if they win? Okay
Starting point is 00:05:34 so yeah see they could get well if they won that means they would have who Artie? Nah Pittsburgh could win the division oh the winner okay the winner of the afc north would be the three seed okay okay i see what you're saying yeah yeah yeah um did we get the uh the fumbles it's close i said it was close even though when everybody said josh allen
Starting point is 00:06:08 where it was locked up and run away i said no lamar still playing too well yeah i see playing too well it's not over and it's going to come down i say it's going to come all the way down to the end of the season and i believe it will and i think it's close i think it's extremely extremely extremely close and but people, but here's the thing. Now, people said Dak, look at Dak numbers last year, 12 and 5. Lamar had a better record, less touchdown passes, less yards. He got the MVP.
Starting point is 00:06:41 This year, he has less of the records, better the numbers. Allen has the better record, similar numbers. Right. Okay, Lamar Jackson has five fumble loss, so he has nine total turnovers. Right. Josh Allen has two fumbles loss, which means he has eight total turnovers. So that's how close he is, Ocho. Even that's close.
Starting point is 00:07:09 That's close. So you got one guy with nine, the other guy with eight. One guy with 41 total touchdowns, the other with 43. And if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong, the Bills have to play the Patriots, right? The Bills play the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Okay. In Foxborough. And who do the Ravens have to play for their last game? The Ravens play the Browns. Oh, shit. Listen, the Browns beat them last time too, huh? Yeah. They ain't beating them this time.
Starting point is 00:07:39 No. No. Listen, if I wasn't giving the advantage, you see, ain't no goddamn divisional game as long it's different man i don't know it don't matter what you just watch you just watch the browns the browns ready that look miles garrett playing his ass off yeah if i'm him if they can't show me a clear picture go go and get me go and get rebuild but rebuild without me well hey listen listen
Starting point is 00:08:02 a clear picture fuzzy picture you already know what it is. Listen, you already know what you get. And you're not going to be there long enough for them to get it together. No. You're just not.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You're not going to be there long enough. You know? So, you know. Somebody give you two first, somebody will switch position with you in the draft.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Absolutely. Well, you're not going to, first of all, you don't want to switch position with anybody in the draft because you're going to have a higher seed than anybody that's going to be willing to trade.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Right. If somebody gives you two first-rounders, maybe a player and even a second-rounder for Miles Garrett. He's 29 years of age, and he's a premier pass rusher. Those guys don't fall out of trees. Nope. Not him. So, yes, this thing is going to come down to the end. It's going to be interesting. I don't believe Josh Allen's going to come down to the end it's going to be interesting i don't believe
Starting point is 00:08:46 josh allen's going to play excuse me they're locked into the two seed lamar jackson numbers could even look better could it be a situation he throws for 4 000 yards over he's gonna throw for over 4 000 yards does he rush for 148 to give him 1,000? I mean, the man rushed for 4,000, passed for 4,000, rushed for 1,000, has 41, 42 touchdowns, Ochoa. I got to give him MVP. I'm sorry. Yeah. I mean, Ochoa, I've been telling you,
Starting point is 00:09:17 I've been leaning his way for like the last three, four weeks. Right. But with 4,000 pass yards, 1,000 rush yards, 40 touchdown passes, what are we doing here? Right. But with 4,000 pass yards, 1,000 rush yards, 40 touchdown passes, what are we doing here? Right. And not a knock on Josh Allen because Josh Allen's had a phenomenal season. Yeah. But I can't let a guy that throws for 4,000 yards rush for 1,000
Starting point is 00:09:36 and with 40-plus touchdown passes, I can't let that season go away in vain. I can't. I can't. The Gi go away in vain. I can't. I can't. The Giants played them. Ocho. The Giants played themselves out of the first overall pick. Remember I told you? That's why they put your boy in that thing?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Mm-hmm. DeVito? Yeah. The Giants, 3-13, picked up a win at MetLife, the stadium in its final home game, thanks to career days by Drew Locke and rookie Malik Neighbors. Malik.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Oh, hold on. Jermaine, whatever his name is. I ain't finna butcher that man name. But you know, Jermaine, you'd rather your team go out there and fight for every inch than lay down and just take an ass whipping. Yeah, you get your ass picked.
Starting point is 00:10:26 You get your ass picked. That's what you wanted. But what are the players coming into? You've got to establish some sort of culture. We're trying to establish a culture that can lead into next year. Once we get more pieces in here, I'm sure everything will still work out how the franchise needed to work out. Now, New England has the number one new england has the number one pick tennessee
Starting point is 00:10:47 has the number two pick cleveland has the number three pick the giants number three so is that a situation does somebody come up and wow new england well or do you sit there and take a travis hunter and here's the thing, Ocho. Yes, sir. I like Travis Hunter. But are the Patriots one player away? Or do you give me two first rounders? We switch draft positions. Now I want a first rounder in 25 and 26 and 27.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And plus, I want a second round pick in 26. And I want a third or fourth round pick in 27. Is that where we go with this, Ocho? I don't know. Because I think they're more than one player away. That's just me personally. And I won't travel to go. I won't travel to Shador.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Clearly, clearly, they're not taking Shador because they just drafted Drake May. Drake May, yeah. This is interesting. This is very interesting. I think I would love to be in the war room. I would love to be in the war room with Kraft and Mayo and see what their thoughts is on, you know, the special skill set that, you know, Travis Hunter has. What can he do for us?
Starting point is 00:11:54 What can we do, even if we are multiple players away from being able to compete and be in contention and looking like we used to look, you know, those 20 years when we had Belichick and Brady. Can we get a player like Travis Hunter to come in here and help us win? Can he be a difference maker? Can he be a difference maker on the defensive side of the ball and the offensive side of the ball? I mean, that's something that you have to question. I don't know if he's going to play enough to impact it like that, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Huh? I don't know if he's going to play enough to impact it like that, Ocho. Huh? I don't know if he's going to play. I think me, personally, what I would do, Ocho, I would trade the pick. Right. And I'm going to get me three first. I'm going to switch because I'm going to still be in the first round. Right. But, Ocho, you picks away.
Starting point is 00:12:40 You a lot of guys away. Yeah. Especially on the offensive side of the football. Yeah. A lot of guys. Yeah. You the offensive side of the football yeah a lot of guys yeah you need wide receivers you need some line you need some d linemen you need a lot of things to go right in new england see the funny covered is bare right the funny thing about that when you say you need a lot of picks like that would you name it right now that takes time that's it that takes time that's not happening no one in two or three years.
Starting point is 00:13:05 You think you're going to fix all the situation or all the pieces? No. Because you're going to miss. You're going to miss some time. I got a quarterback. You're going to miss. I got my quarterback. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Now, can I get me a receiver? Do I go in free agency? I'll make a play for T. Higgins. Now, you see what I saw? Now, I got me. I put in free agency? I'll make a play for T Higgins. Now, you see what I saw? Now, I got milk. I put in with bootay.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I got Hunter Henry at the tight end position. I like Mondray, Remondre Stevens. Right. Boom. Now, I got some pieces to play with now, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Now I got some chess pieces to deal with. I like that. I like that. I like that. Because you got the cap space. Yeah. I'll pay T. Higgins a premium. I give him $31, $32 million a year in the wide receiver position.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Ocho, I got five year, $160 for it. I give him $80 million, $85 million guaranteed. So now I got a wide receiver to go with my young quarterback. I got Hunter Henry, solid tight end. I mean, they got a couple of pieces. I can work with that, Ocho. But you look at the pieces. New England got the first pick now.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I mean, this could change, Ocho. New England has the first pick. Tennessee got second. Cleveland, Giants, Jacksonville, Carolina, Jets, Las Vegas, Chicago, New Orleans. I'm curious how it's going to pan out. Now, the
Starting point is 00:14:37 draft order might be what it is right now, but we have to understand what teams need. Teams are going to I don't think panic is the right word. They're going to do what's necessary. They are going to, I don't think panic is the right word. They're going to do what's necessary. They're going to be on that phone in the war room doing what's necessary to make sure they get the player they want. Oh, I ain't even waiting until they get to the war room.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I'm plotting right now. Yeah, you can't see it now. I'm plotting right now, Ocho. Right, most of the time we look at the draft, we can name who the first five players are going to go. We can name them. Right now, I couldn tell you you're gonna go first no because guess what free agency happens first so i'm setting my free agent board first now i can plan accordingly right i get a wide receiver i get a t higgins i don't need a wide receiver in the first two rounds. See now I kill one. I killed a killer.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Now. Okay. What else can I got? Cause they got, see how much cap space the Patriots got. They got boo coop cap space. Oh yeah. Boo coop.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Uh, and cap space they got 131 million in cap space oh i can get i can get me two or two players yeah two or three good ones good ones yes all of them ain't gotta be everybody ain't gotta be the best t higgins is gonna probably be the number one wide receiver yeah i don't got to be – everybody ain't got to be the best. T. Higgins is going to probably be the number one wide receiver. Yeah. I don't need to get the number one wide receiver, the number one offensive lineman, the number one defensive lineman, the number one – I don't need to get all that, Ochoa. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I can get number one – I'm going to get T. Higgins. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. Right. Right. Hey, hey, hey. I just want to say, hey, T, look here at look here you're unbelievable talent but you and i both know you only always gonna be number two in in sense number one number uno he number uno i'm gonna shoot you straight yeah i would you hey Ocho yeah hey
Starting point is 00:16:46 I'ma tell you sometimes this ain't me but you got to tell him your boy you know your boy cheating on you right ain't none of my business
Starting point is 00:16:54 I don't even know why I brought it up right but you never you never gonna be the bottom or we gonna be number two now if you okay with that so be it
Starting point is 00:17:03 I ain't here to judge you but you can only be number two. Now, if you're okay with that, so be it. I ain't here to judge you. But you can only be number two because he got a number one. That's who we go home to every night. It ain't none of my business. I don't even know why I brought it up. Come on, now. Come on, come on, now. Hey, it ain't no pillow talk.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I'm wide awake. Yeah. That's the thing, Ochoa. I mean, Ochoa, I'm trying to get T. Higgins. I'm telling the truth. Oh, yeah. But he know I ain't lying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 You know what? Listen, and I say it all the time. You know, I consider him two ones. I consider him two ones. He had three teams in the NFL. Chat, listen to me. There are three teams in the NFL that have two number one receivers. I don't care how you cut it, how you slice it.
Starting point is 00:17:50 That's the Bengals to me. The Vikings, I consider them to have two number ones as well. Detroit? I like Addison. You like the Lions? You like Amon Ross St. Brown and Jamison Williams yeah Amon Ross St. Brown
Starting point is 00:18:07 now I don't see Amon Amon Ross St. Brown as a as a dominant figure as an outside wide receiver no
Starting point is 00:18:14 as an outside receiver he'll slot he'll slot he'll slot yeah yeah so that's that's why I didn't really put them
Starting point is 00:18:20 in in the conversation and them young bulls over there down in Philly I see them as two number ones if they yeah for sure I think put them in the conversation. And them young Bulls over there down in Philly, I see them as two number ones. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I think Devontae Smith can carry the load on a team if he had to be at one. And you know A.J. Brown. You know what he could do. You look at Chicago with Keenan and D.J. Moore. Yeah. Roan with more opportunities.
Starting point is 00:18:45 But that's the thing that you got to look at. You have to ask yourself about one player away. Normally, that's the quarterback. Because if I got a choice, Ocho, I'm going to take a quarterback because he has the ball. I need guys that's going to score points. Every time. At the end of the day, that's how you win in this league, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Look at the game. 45-33 and 27. Ocho, ain at the game 45 33 and 27 Ocho ain't no more you're not winning a whole bunch of games 10-7 right you're just not right you got the score and if you give me a choice to say defensive guy or a quarterback I'm taking the quarterback I'm just damn but clearly Seattle uh the Patriots need another wide receiver. And I'm going at T. Higgins. I'm going to make him an offer he cannot refuse, Ochoa. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:30 The Dolphins keep their slim AFC playoff hopes alive with a win over the Browns 20-3. It wasn't pretty, but Tyler Huntley led Miami Dolphins. They took care of business, Ochoa. Now they're 8-8, remains a hotly contested three-way battle for the AFC final playoff spot. Hey, the Broncos win, they're in. Dolphins need a win and a – is it Broncos?
Starting point is 00:19:53 No, the Dolphins need a win plus a Denver loss. The Bengals – the Bengals, they need the Denver to lose and Miami to lose. So they're just not out of the woodwork just yet, Ocho. Hold on, hold on, hold on. And they have to beat Pittsburgh. That's going to happen. Miami has to lose. They're going to lose.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And the Broncos have to lose. And they're going to lose. Miami are playing the Jets. You know, I don't like the fact that our future is in the hands of other teams. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:20:37 If we had handled business at the beginning of the season instead of putting ourselves in a hole like we always do every goddamn year, this one a little worse than others, you know, putting ourselves in a hole like we always do every goddamn year. This went a little worse than others. And having to dig ourselves out, we wouldn't be in this situation. So that bothers me that
Starting point is 00:20:51 we have to rely on other teams and hope that, hey, we hope you guys win and we hope these guys lose so we can get an opportunity to get into the playoffs. It's unfortunate, but that's where we are now. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:06 all the cars may fall in our place. Because if they do, if they do, all right, don't be surprised. I told you, I told you the storyline.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Y'all ain't getting there. I told you the story. Chiefs ain't playing nobody. Cause if you, if you what you said, what are the Chiefs ain't playing nobody. If you're what you're saying, what are the Chiefs thinking? So you still believe the Broncos going to beat the Chiefs? Yes. You do remember how much we put on it, right?
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah, we put $5,000 on it. Okay, I just want to make sure you remember that. I don't want you to forget. I don't want you to be upset. I don't want you to blame. I ain't going to be upset. I don't want no excuses. I want my want you to be upset. I don't want you to blame. I ain't gonna be upset. I don't want no excuses. I want my money in ones too. Because
Starting point is 00:21:52 I'm gonna go celebrate. So the Broncos are in with a win. If they win, they don't need nothing else. They can still get in if the Bengals lose. That ain't gonna happen, but go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But I like our chance. I don't even want to think of anything else. Check this out, Ocho. Miles Garrett made NFL history in Week 17 by becoming the first player to tally at least 14 sacks in four consecutive seasons. Garrett notched two sacks today, which is how so happens to be
Starting point is 00:22:23 his 29th birthday to meet the milestone. I mean, if they had a little better record, he'd smack down with the defensive player of the year. Yeah. Most definitely. I don't really know who's going to win defensive player of the year. I really don't know, Joe. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Because I don't think anybody's had that year like, oh my God. It's got to be him. Yeah. Well, they ran away with it. Nobody ran away.'re like, Oh my God, it's gotta be him. Yeah. Well, they ran away with it. Nobody ran away. I mean,
Starting point is 00:22:47 he's probably going to win the sack total. I mean, what he has 14. I mean, he has 14 now. I think Hendrickson has 13. Okay. It's going to be interesting to see what,
Starting point is 00:22:58 what Pittsburgh don't play until next week. We'll see what Pittsburgh, what they can do on, on, on borough. Yeah. But right now and Cleveland, I mean, he could get another sack or two against Lamar, but when I look at it, I mean,
Starting point is 00:23:15 I mean, who's your defensive player of the year? T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett. Listen, T.J. Watt, Miles Garrett. Listen, T.J. Watt and Miles Garrett have been playing. Hendricks have 14. So he's tied right now with Trey Hendricks. They are tied? Yeah, 14. Both have 14.
Starting point is 00:23:36 You know what? We got to see how this last game goes. We got to see how this last game goes. I'm hoping. Well, we know Hendricks is not going to get it. Not on that bad defense. Right. He is not going to get it. Not on that bad defense. Right. He not going to get it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah. Damn. So it's probably going to be out of Miles Garrett and TJ again. Probably. I'm trying to think to myself, who else is playing
Starting point is 00:24:02 stellar defense from an individual standpoint, regardless of position? I mean, it's just those two. Mm-hmm.

The Raiders posted back-to-back wins for the first time this season with a 25-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers led the Raiders in receiving with seven catches,
Starting point is 00:29:02 77 yards, and set several records. Bowers set an NFL record for the most receiving yards by a rookie tight end in a single season. And the most reception by a rookie in a single season... Hold on. The most reception by a rookie in a single season? Oh, in the second quarter.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Right? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, exactly. Okay. In the second quarter. Bowers also set a rated single-season record for the most receiving yards by a rookie and the most receptions. I mean, what's the record? The most reception by a tight end is Jason Witten, 116?
Starting point is 00:29:37 Or Zach Ertz? 116? They were dealing, what? What does he have now, 108? Because I think Malik Neighbors has like 106. He's right there on him. About Zach Ertz, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Zach Ertz has 116. Brock Bowers has how many? 108 now? So he's nine catches away from breaking the record. Hey, all I know, I'm throwing in all i know i'm throwing in the ball i'm throwing the ball every day every day oh i forgot pat certain gonna get some votes too oh yeah because when he covered jamar chase had throw on what six seven targets he had three catches for 27 yards against certain and when when certain wasn't on him, what's it called?
Starting point is 00:30:26 Joey. Joe Burrow hunted him. Well, hey, oh, you going to guard somebody else? Jamar, get ready. So Sertan is going to get some votes. He good, man. That joker flew in. Oh, he good.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Oh, Joe, that joker effortless. He real nice. Hey, listen, to be that size, to be that big. Yeah, he tall. He tall. He like 6'2", 6'2 1⁄2". Hey, listen, to be that fluid, to be that smooth, he got great hips, great technique. He can play off.
Starting point is 00:30:56 He can play man. He's really good and always in position to make a play. Always in position to make a play. I like him. I like him. I like him a lot. Ocho, Tampa exploded offensively, punting just once all afternoon, opened the game with five straight scoring drives. Baker Mayfield posted his first career game in which he threw for 350-plus yards,
Starting point is 00:31:19 five touchdowns, connected with Mike Evans for two of those as he became the seventh player in NFL history with six or more seasons with at least 10 touchdown receptions. And now I think he's what, 80 yards? He's like 80 yards away from getting another thousand yard or another a thousand receiving yard season. Right. And they play New Orleans next week.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Oh yeah, he gonna get that. He definitely gonna get that. And then you know what? He don't have to deal with Marshawn Latimer either. Nope. Yeah. You go out there and have yourself. So Baker was 27 of 32. 359. Five
Starting point is 00:31:54 touchdowns. Bucky Irving, 20 carries, 113 yards. They ran the ball 40 times for 202. Mike Evans had eight catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Baker was sensational. Bryce Young was 15-28, 203,
Starting point is 00:32:10 two touchdowns, no interceptions. It was just overmatched. Adam Thielen had a day. Five for 110, two touchdowns. They just don't have enough offensively on Chelsea. Too much. Too much. Too much for I probably can't deal with.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Mike Evans needs 85 yards don't have enough offensively too much too much too much too much firepower to deal with uh mike evans needs 85 yards to have that'll be at 11 straight or 12 straight thousand yard season Be as level straight Now Jerry has the record with 14 Total 1,000 yard seasons Woo Um He gonna get that though He definitely getting that Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:32:57 Oh I'm gonna feed him I'm gonna feed him I'm gonna make sure he gets it Right But Baker's playing extremely well Baker gotta have like 30 something passes, doesn't he? Baker has 39 touchdown passes? Damn.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Wow. 39? Yes. Shit. 39? Yes. Shit. And he's over 4,000 yards, right? Oh, yeah. If I'm not mistaken. I just looked at it.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Boy, it's going to be, hey, Ocho, it's going to be real interesting, this Pro Bowl. What happened? The AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks. Yeah. You got Joey B. You got Mahomes 15-1. You got Josh Allen. And you got Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Somebody get left home to take three. But listen, this might be a year where they change the rules and take four. They changing the rules. Now, the NFC. You got Jared Goff. Goff. You got Baker Mayfield. You got Jalen Hurt.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah. You got Sam Darnold. Darnold, balling. You know what? I can you know what I can't wait I can't wait to get the Pro Bowl I can't wait to get the Pro Bowl cause you know I gotta work
Starting point is 00:34:10 and I'm finna I'm finna get everybody autographed and they finna sign my jersey I want everybody autographed and give me a jersey uh Ocho now it's time for our final segment of the evening now it's time for our
Starting point is 00:34:25 final segment of the evening now it's time for Q and A well god damn that shit went by oh my bad my bad hey can you do me a favor what we should start we should start we should start like a little part right for me
Starting point is 00:34:40 to kind of help me with my discipline when it comes to to use the derogatory language every time i curse um i put a dollar in the pot right your whole check will be gone at the end of the month but this is the thing and then we we give it we give it away to i like that idea sure i'm all for it yeah matter of fact no let's make it $20 every time I curse $20 man you will have no money
Starting point is 00:35:08 $20 and at the end of each month we we tally it up and we give it away to somebody in the chat okay I'm good
Starting point is 00:35:17 that's a good idea Blah91 said uh I've never seen so many good rookies in the NFL is that indicative of the rule changes?
Starting point is 00:35:26 I mean, it all depends. Look, they throw the ball. You've added games. You throw the ball more than you ever have. If you notice, it ain't a whole lot of rookie running backs doing this. I mean, Bucky Urban, I think, is the only rookie running back, and I think he's pretty close to
Starting point is 00:35:41 1,000 yards. But the receivers, you look at Malik Dahl, you look at neighbors, you look at Brian Thomas, you look at Brock Bowers, you saw the quarterbacks come in, you see Jane Daniels come in, and that's what you're going to get. But these guys are more skilled now. They do all these 7-on-7 camps. They grew up in 7-on-7, whereas before that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:36:01 They're getting coached by NFL guys that throw in coaches. These guys got throwing coaches in high school. Yeah, yeah, most definitely. In college. So it's different. But the rookies are, yeah, the rule changes helped. But at the end of the day, guys still got to go out there and- Got to perform.
Starting point is 00:36:19 And got to perform. Yeah. You're absolutely right. Aaron Owen said a 60-meter dash between CJ2K, Prime, Tyreek, Bo Jackson, Daryl Green. Who you taking? In a Prime?
Starting point is 00:36:33 In a Prime? In a Prime? In a Prime. I'm trying. I ain't never seen nobody beat Daryl Green. And I'm talking about he raced the Olympic champs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:48 That'd be a good race. Prime. Absolute prime. Well, that would be a great race. That'd be a good one. Damn, that's a good one. I think I'm... I think I'm I think I go with
Starting point is 00:37:08 Prime or both both both both Twitchy you see how
Starting point is 00:37:14 Tyreek is right now I'm gone now you see now you know time
Starting point is 00:37:20 Twitchy oh yeah yeah I know that I know that yeah
Starting point is 00:37:24 time time real Twitchy yeah I know that I know that yeah time time real twitchy well that that now see that's what they should have had right
Starting point is 00:37:32 but you also they used to have that NFL's fastest man oh yeah Daryl Green Daryl Green yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:37:40 Woody they had Herschel Walker Herschel Walker they had I don't know if Sam Grady ran, but they had Willie Gault. Yeah. Oh, they had some guys. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I done seen it go across Twitter a few times. They had it running in them gray shorts. Yeah. Yeah. So bad. Jeremy Shepard said, the greatest defensive team in NFL history versus the greatest offensive team in NFL history. Who wins and why? So what are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:38:09 Are we talking about the 85 Bears? No, you're talking about the 86 Bears or the 2000? Yeah, not as you meant. Because I'm like, okay. He said the greatest NFL team. Now, who do you think the greatest? Is it the 85 ravens is it the o2 bucks is it the uh the uh the 12 the 13 seahawks is it the 76 steelers i mean what it who
Starting point is 00:38:37 who do you consider the greatest team okay offensively is it the 07? Is it the 07 Patriots? Is it the 13 Broncos? Is it to the 83? Is it the 83 Washington football team? Boy. I'm biased because I happen to be, I wasn't on the defense, but I was on the Ravens with that defense and I saw it up close and
Starting point is 00:39:02 personal. You had to see it. It's different. But that's when they let you punish the quarterback. And all those teams, for the most part, with the exception of the 12 Seahawks, would let you punish the quarterback. You could punish him in 2000. You could punish him in 2002. You could punish him in the
Starting point is 00:39:20 80s. You could punish him in the 70s. And you're talking about punishing the quarterback. The quarterback, yeah. Anybody on the offensive line. You could punish anybody. Yeah, receivers. And you're talking about punishing the quarterback. The quarterback, yeah. Anybody on the offensive side. You can punish anybody. Yeah, receivers. Oh, yeah. Everybody get it. Yeah. There was no, no, no, nobody. Nobody was spared. Wide receivers,
Starting point is 00:39:35 quarterback, runners. Oh, yeah. Greatest. And today, Ocho the thing is is that they the thing is that what teams figured out is that the mistakes that they made the 85 Bears
Starting point is 00:40:03 they were known for the Bear defense so what they did they covered up the 85 Bears, they were known for the Bear defense. So what they did, they covered up the center and the two guards. 4-6, right? 46 defense. And what they would do is that they would stretch it. So they would take Wilbur Marshall and put him over the tight end.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And they would take Dent and kick him outside. The problem that people have is that they were taking a tight end or the running back to try to block Richard Dent or Hampton. Well, that's not going to work. And so what they did, they started fanning it. So they would take the tackle because now what they realized is that that guy wasn't going to come. He had a tight end in man.
Starting point is 00:40:42 But when he blocked, he would come and hit your quarterback in the mouth but what they started doing is releasing that guy take the tackle and kick now if they brought both of them you just look hot because normally the backer the inside backer was going to have to try and take you so you just get width
Starting point is 00:41:00 to hit you with the ball you take off running but that would be great I'm going with like I said I'm taking the 2000 I'm taking the 2000 to hit you with the ball you take off running. But that would be great. I'm going with, like I said, I'm taking the 2,000. I'm taking the 2,000 Ravens as the greatest defense. I don't care what nobody say. Yeah, and I'm only taking on the Ravens and the Demons because I saw them. Because I didn't get to watch the other teams.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I didn't see the 85, 86 Bears. I wasn't able to see them. I didn't see the Steelers when they had the steel curtain back then. You know, but that, that, that too, man, I don't think people understand. Isaiah Lancaster says, Uncle Ocho, is this the best generation of quarterbacks? Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burr, Herbert, and does Lamar or Allen overcome the Chiefs? Well, it's either now or never. Look, we've always had an influx of quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:41:47 You had Montana. You had Elway. You had Marino. You had Kelly. You've always had quarterbacks. Right. They're just young. I mean, because think about it.
Starting point is 00:41:58 All those quarterbacks, only one of them won a Super Bowl. All the quarterbacks you mentioned, only one of them won a Super Bowl. Right. Only two of those have an MVP. If you think about it right now, Ocho, only two quarterbacks in the entire league have Super Bowl as starters. That's Mahomes, and that's...
Starting point is 00:42:18 Mark Jackson. No, Aaron Rodgers. Oh, you say MVP. My bad. MVP. Super Bowl. Has Super Bowl. Oh, Super Bowl. Okay, okay, okay, okay. As starters. Oh, you said MVP. My bad. MVP. Super Bowl. Has Super Bowl. Oh, Super Bowl. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay. And starters. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Yeah. My bad. Hey, all three have MVPs. Rodgers, Mahomes, and Lamar. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy. Oh, I forgot.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Who? In the Rams. Stafford has a Super Bowl. Oh, Stafford. Oh, yeah. Stafford, yeah. Don't remind me. Don't remind me. Don't remind me.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Because that wasn't no pass interference on that fourth. That no look pass was the greatest throw in NFL history. That was nice. Given the circumstances. That was nice. That's the Super Bowl, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:43:05 That ain't no preseason game. That ain't no preseason game. That ain't no regular season game. That's for all the marbles. Yeah, I can give credit where credit's due. That was nice. Oh, Russ, too. Russ got a Super Bowl. It's four.
Starting point is 00:43:15 So, Russ, Rodgers, Mahomes, and Stafford. Stafford. Only two have Super Bowl MVPs. That's Mahomes and Rodgers. Only three have regular season MVPs. That's Mahomes and Rodgers. Only three have regular season MVPs. That's Rodgers, Mahomes, and Lamar. Right. But, hey, these guys are young, too, so they're going to be duking it out for a while, little chum.
Starting point is 00:43:36 You got Lamar at 27. You got Allen probably 27. Burrow's like 28. Herbert is like 25, 26. Mahome, boy, just turned, 29 so they're gonna be they're gonna be they're gonna be going at this for a while locho and i'm glad of it brandon martinez so you guys keep forgetting how many weapons lamar has to compete to alan he's carrying buffalo bro bruh it's not an easy decision. You can make you can...
Starting point is 00:44:07 You can make a compelling case for either guy. It's just, Ocho, somebody got to argue for the defense. Somebody got to argue for the prosecution. It's really that simple, Ocho. And the funny thing about it is it's so close.
Starting point is 00:44:24 It is. You would damn near have to nitpick. You would have to nitpick and find something to say, well, Josh should win it for this reason, or Lamar Jackson should win it for this reason. When the numbers are so close, the records are so close. I mean, listen, I think it's going to come
Starting point is 00:44:39 down to this last game. You said Josh Allen might not play because they have the number two seed? The number two seed locked up. There can't be anything but the number two seed. Well, listen, that's the case. You think Josh Allen might sit and might not play. Well, Lamar Jackson might get it just for the performance he has
Starting point is 00:44:54 against the Browns this week coming up. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Oh, Joe Flacco won the Super Bowl. And he got an MVP. We forget about Joe. And because it was so long it was so long ago well I mean he won more more recent than Aaron Rodgers but he won one and he was the Super Bowl MVP now you could have made a case for Jacoby because Jacoby, he saved,
Starting point is 00:45:28 he and Flacco saved the day against the Broncos on third and forever. Called the game when it took down. With a safety, the safety misjudged it. Raheem Moore,
Starting point is 00:45:36 yep, he did. Ocho, Tim Lee said, if the Chiefs are so scared of the Bengals, which I know they're not,
Starting point is 00:45:44 why would the Chiefs let them in? Can't have it both ways, Ocho. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who mentioned anything about them being scared? I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. I don't even speak on the Chiefs, you know? I don't say anything bad about the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Now, what I have done is anytime there was a game going on, I would just say the Chiefs were going to lose. Just to say it, really not really understanding that because of Mahomes, they're probably not going to lose anyway. I just said for context purposes, just to go against them. That's all. That's all. They're really good. They're really good and they will always be good as long as... Y'all ain't going to make the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Who are you talking to? You. You don't think we're going to make the playoffs? No. What part about... What about the big N or the big O? No. Okay, we'll see. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Now, when we make it, I don't want you to say play or off. No more. We'll see. Trey Caesar said, do you think Commanders win a Super Bowl by the end of JD5 rookie deal? Well, it's a lot easier to win on a rookie deal than it is when you start. Because by the time he get a deal, you got to understand what the money is going to be. He's going to be 70 million.
Starting point is 00:46:57 We're going to be nasty, boy. Because he's going to sign a deal after his third year. So that's two years away, Ocho. Yeah. It's going to be $70 million. Hey, good work. Let me get all that too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:11 If you ain't got no money, go get it from the Federal Reserve. But I need all mine. Question. If Larry was to win a ring in 2008, where would you rank his playoff run? Larry. Larry Fitzgerald. Oh, oh, oh. That run he was on?
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah. And that thing was nasty. But who had a better playoff run, Larry Fitzgerald or Cooper Cupp? Man. But see, Coop finished it off. Because here's the thing. You got to think about what Coop did in the regular season, Ocho. 142, 1942, triple crown, and he showed up every game.
Starting point is 00:47:53 In the playoffs. And he was cutting up. But Larry, that was crazy. That would have been crazy. Jerry had some runs. I mean, when Jerry did. When Jerry did have runs. There's, when Jerry did. When Jerry did have runs, there's a reason he got on the record
Starting point is 00:48:08 in the postseason and the regular season for receivers. But yeah, man. That Super Bowl, the NFC Championship, the game against the Falcons. Fitz had a run. I give him credit. Fitz had a run. I give him credit. Fitz had a run, but I think I'm going to go with Cupp.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Don't dub, said Unc. Give my boy Zach Brown some attention for defensive player of the year. Not a household name, but he's been playing his tail long. That's the mic backer. Oh, man. Hey, that's the mic backer from Philly, huh? Yeah, 53.
Starting point is 00:48:46 He nice, boy. He is. He is. Listen, I don't pay attention to linebackers that much, but because of his play, you ain't got no choice but to know.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah, he jump off the screen. You got to play. Yeah, you got no choice but to know. Oh, yeah. He nice. He pops, Ocho. He pops.
Starting point is 00:49:02 You might not know him. I mean, he doesn't have one of the big names. He's not like a, what's the guy in San Fran? Fred Warner. Fred Warner. You know, you got Fred Warner. You got Zaire Franklin.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yeah. You got B-Wags in Washington. Right. Zach Ryan, boy. Ooh. Yeah. Very nice. He can play.
Starting point is 00:49:22 He can play. I love his game.

Q, you playing with confidence, Quinn Johnson. Keep that thing going, boy. Gus Edwards. Gus Edwards. That's the guy. Gus Edwards Gus Edwards
